Coming back to this old thread. There were no more replies, but I don't feel like merging this patch after such a long time, unless there would be more support for it. So, any further opinions?

Yeah, but see what I had said above. However, if the consensus is that we should have such a line, see attached patch for GLEP 42.

[gentoo-dev] License of news items
The gentoo-news repository requires a Signed-off-by line in the commit, while news items don't have any license information. So technically, these commits aren't compliant with GLEP 76. The simplest way to fix this would be adding a README file in the top-level dir of the repository, see patch below. This would apply retroactively since 2018-10-21 (when GLEP 76 was marked as Active). I am going to file a bug for authors to acknowledge that their news items can be distributed under CC-BY-SA-4.0. Alternatively, we could add a new header line with license information to the items themselves, but that would be more complicated with (IMHO) little gain.
